Houbigant Orangers en Fleurs is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Jacques Fleury. Orangers en Fleurs opens with Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk and Cedar. Houbigant's Orangers en Fleurs carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This isn't your average orange blossom. Orangers en Fleurs is a rich, complex, and sometimes divisive white floral beast. Some will get pure sunshine; others a spicy, indolic punch. You'll either adore its classic elegance or find it too much to handle.

Its strong projection and heavy white floral profile make it less suitable for the office, though some feel it could be worn there carefully. It shines on dates and formal events due to its elegant, confident nature, but is perhaps a bit too opulent for very casual settings. It's too rich for sport.

About

Orangers en Fleurs opens with a sweet, yet sometimes bitter, blend of orange blossom, jasmine, and rose. Soon the creamy, tropical ylang-ylang and prominent tuberose emerge, spiced by a subtle nutmeg. The elegant white floral heart rests upon a soft base of musk and cedar, adding depth and warmth. This is a big, opulent floral bouquet that blooms beautifully, particularly in warmer weather.
